If you look all the way back on the passenger's side of the engine bay, there is the PCM, you can tell by the three large sets of wires going into a metal box with a black plastic cover. On the metal part, there might be a sticker on it that says "Authorized software update," with a date on it. If you have that sticker, you have the death flash.

or on your radiator support there will be a similar sticker, i assume that you know about our leaky plenums? the death flash was a reprogram that took out a few degrees of timing so that the truck wouldnt ping when the plenum was shot instead of fixing the plenum.....if you have it you have about 3 options
1- do the cps mod (search for it)
2- get a tuner
3- find a stock pcm without it

you can't search cps mod, the forum throws away all three letter words

My 99 ram has teh death flash...now which tuner do you recommend? And Ive never used a tuner...are they that hard..or do you just plug it in and hit flash computer? OBDII connector or straight to the PCM?
